The lecture examines the time evolution of Gaussian wave packets, both in free space and as they interact with potential steps. It specifically covers the properties and solutions for the Dirac delta potential well.
MIT 8.04 Quantum Physics I, Spring 2013
In this lecture, Prof. Adams discusses the time evolution of Gaussian wave packets both in free space and across potential steps.
